From the Organizer
Get ready for a race weekend like no other at the Run Jekyll Weekend! Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a first-time 5k participant, this weekend offers something for every level of runner. Set on the beautiful Jekyll Island, runners can choose from four exciting race options: On Saturday choose between the 5k or 10k and on Sunday run either the half marathon or the marathon. However, if running only one race doesn't cure your appetite for racing you can choose to run a double!
This scenic event offers breathtaking views of the island’s unique landscape, featuring a mix of coastal beauty, lush nature trails, and historic landmarks. No matter if you're looking for a fun challenge or aiming for a personal best, the Run Jekyll weekend provides a perfect opportunity to push your limits, celebrate your fitness goals, and experience the natural beauty of Georgia’s coastline.
